asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can indicate when it may be hoped that the replies of the various Governments regarding Part II of the Report on the Traffic in Women and Children are likely to be received; and how soon thereafter publication may be expected?

My right hon. Friend has no means of forecasting the action of foreign Governments in this matter, but he hopes that the Council of the League will be in a position to take a decision at its next meeting in June.

Can the hon. Gentleman say when Part II will be published, so that everyone can obtain it?

That is exactly what I cannot say. It entirely depends on the Governments.

Will the hon. Gentleman use his best efforts to see that it is published?

Mr. LOC KER-LAMPSON:

No; I think that is a matter for the Governments themselves.
